Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Primary succession is much slower than secondary succession because it begins where there is no soil. It can take several hundred to several thousand years to produce fertile soil naturally. The first pioneer species to colonize the bare rock will probably be bacteria and lichens, which can live without the soil.
Detailed explanation-2: -Primary succession is the process by which the structure of a new ecosystem develops where there was no existing ecosystem. Primary succession can take up to 1, 000 years to develop and it occurs on barren land that does not have any life forms.
